Local autonomy in the Philippines refers to the devolution of powers and responsibilities from the national government to local government units. This system allows local officials to make decisions on certain matters that affect their respective communities, enabling them to address issues more effectively based on local needs and circumstances.
The four political units in the Philippines are barangay (village), municipality/city, province, and region. These units are hierarchical with the barangay being the smallest local government unit and the region being the broadest.
